Senator Lindsey Graham says President Trump is “not going to give in” on the shutdown fight over border security funding.

During an interview Sunday, Graham said the President should open the government for a short period of time before he pulls the plug on solving the funding issue through Congress.

The South Carolina Senator says a deal regarding DACA and wall funding could be acceptable to both the White House and Democrats.

Graham also expressed support for the President declaring a national emergency over the border security issue and urged his GOP colleagues to back him up if he does.
